Will the Reese 18K Signature Series 5th Wheel Hitch Work On a 2020 Ram 3500

Question

Question:

I currently own a 2011 Ram 2500 with a Reese Revolution 18K fifth wheel hitch And a Reese sidewinder pinbox on my Jayco. I’m looking to purchase a 2021 Ram 3500. Do they make a rail kit for my Reese hitch to fit that truck?

I do have an option for a 2020 Ram 3500 but the Reese 18K Signature Series 5th Wheel Hitch is not compatible nor is than any adapter that will allow it to be. Instead, I recommend the Reese M5 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # RP30918 which is an updated version of the Reese 18K Signature Series 5th Wheel Hitch. The correct wedge for the Reese M5 is the Replacement Universal Wedge for 5th Airborne Sidewinders part # 201100.

According to Reese some of 5th wheel trailer hitch #RP30918 for your 2016 Ram 3500 are assembled and some are not. It looks like the ones they send to us are not assembled. But there really isn't a whole lot to the assembly and installation. I…

Curt manufacturers the Mopar hitches. The Mopar 20,000 lb. hitch is essentially the Curt Q20 5th wheel hitch, which is not compatible with rotating pin boxes like a sidewinder. The reason for this doesn't have to do with a wedge, the head on the…
